    Wow, what an experience I had at this hotel! the view from my room was absolutely breathtaking, overlooking the Business Bay Canal and even catching glimpses of the iconic Burj Khalifa. the room was spotless with remarkable interior design, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. the staff, especially a cheerful receptionist named Amira, went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Breakfast was a delight, with a lovely setup by the canal, and the service was top-notch.

    I found this place during my business trip - great for foodies and sports fans! The rooms have fantastic sea views, and you can even watch the football event live from the bar. The vibrant atmosphere is perfect for urban planners like me who appreciate modernity mixed with tradition. Plus, the variety of dining options is a dream come true. They cater to all tastes, just like my diverse heritage! Can't wait to go back!

    The decorations at the hotel reminded me of a beautiful Arabian oasis, with lovely traditional elements and comfortable seating areas where we could relax and enjoy the view. The general areas were spacious and easy to navigate, perfect for senior people like myself. The hotel's accessibility was excellent, with smooth ramps and elevators making it easy for us to move around without any hassle.

    The children of the staff could have been more proactive in ensuring that sunbeds are available and not reserved with towels, for a better vacation experience for senior people.

    The football streaming at Lilly's Social House was amazing! Luxury amenities and reasonable prices at the resort were a pleasant surprise. The beam of light from the fountain made me feel like I was in the brightest spot in the world.

    Oh, let me think. there was absolutely nothing I didn't like!

    My stay at Canal Central Hotel in Dubai with my 6-month-old baby was truly delightful. The hotel's central location by the creek offered serene walks, and the staff's exceptional friendliness made us feel at home. The diverse gluten-free dining options and cleanliness were commendable. The pool staff's efficiency and the relaxing spa facilities added to our family bonding. Nearby attractions like the iconic Burj Khalifa were easily accessible, enhancing our stay. The bustling city environment and occasional noise disruptions were minor setbacks, but the overall experience was highly enjoyable.

    The view from our room was breathtaking, and the amenities at this hotel were luxurious. the spa and wellness centre was perfect for unwinding after a long day of sightseeing. the outdoor swimming pool was pristine and the sun terrace was a great place to soak up the sun. the room was well-appointed and had exclusive advantages such as a private balcony and in-room breakfast. the restaurant offered a variety of halal food options and the poolside snack bar was ideal for a quick bite.

    We did feel that the prices for food and drinks were a bit steep, but this was a minor issue considering the exclusive nature of the hotel. the location was a bit out of the way and required a taxi for getting around, but the hotel's entertainment options made up for it.

    the hotel staff at Lilly's bar and the pool area were highly attentive and took great care of us. the pool being heated allowed us to swim all year round, which was a wonderful experience. We also found the prices at Lilly's bar to be excellent value for money. the location of the hotel was perfect, just a short 10-minute drive away from Dubai Mall. the view of the Canal, Burj Khalifa, and pool area from our room was absolutely stunning. the bed was comfortable and the room was cleaned daily with toiletries refilled. We also appreciated the thoughtful gesture of a cake in our room to celebrate our honeymoon.

    Nothing could have been better! 🌟

    The staff here were absolutely top-notch, shoutout to Yousef for being so accommodating and friendly; they really made the stay enjoyable. The pool area is superb, great for chilling with a drink, and the massage service was so relaxing! However, the prices for snacks were a bit steep, $22 for a can of coke, but it didn't really bother me; I just went out to grab some cheaper munchies elsewhere. Recommended! 🌟

    The exceptional service from the staff, especially Krishna and his team in Lilly's bar, truly made our stay memorable. the romantic view from the room added to the overall ambiance. However, improvements could be made in addressing the smoking smell on non-smoking floors and in enhancing the availability of taxis for guests.

    Let's chat about the food scene, mate! Mate, let me tell you, the dining options at Canal Central were a foodie's paradise! The diverse selection had me feeling like a culinary explorer, with options like Nurai Cafe and Restaurant. And oh, the fruit spread was like discovering a hidden treasure in Dubai's foodie landscape.

    Now, spill the tea - it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows, friend. The bed situation was a bummer, expecting a king but getting a queen instead is like ordering biryani and getting a sandwich, not quite hitting the mark.

    During my stay at Canal Central Hotel in Dubai for a business trip, I was thoroughly impressed by the Wellness Valley Spa. The relaxing treatments offered here truly exceeded my expectations. The natural oils and fragrances used in the therapies created a serene and rejuvenating experience. I was able to unwind and de-stress after a long day of meetings, which greatly contributed to my overall satisfaction with the hotel.

    Couldn’t fault.

    My friends and I had a blast staying at the hotel, it's super close to Ski Dubai and the Dubai Aquarium. Skiing in the desert - can you believe it? And the aquarium - 400 sharks, how cool can a day get?

    We would have loved to have a more happening nightlife scene at the hotel for young people like us.

    The hotel's location may be tricky for taxi drivers, but it's nice to be able to walk along the canal and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The rooms are clean and comfortable with great views. The staff offer wonderful service, especially Ms. Elena at reception and Mr Dev, the housekeeper. The swimming pool is also a great facility.

    The breakfast could use some improvement compared to other hotels, but it's still a decent meal to start the day.

The staff, particularly Ayoub at the doorman and Nadia at the reception, were incredibly friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and beautifully designed, and the pool area with its breathtaking view was a highlight. The housekeeping staff kept our room spotless, and the chefs and wait staff went above and beyond to accommodate my infant daughter. The valet service was also exceptional. the staff and facilities made our stay perfect.

    The hotel offers excellent breakfast with a wide range of choices. The restaurant is good but a bit expensive. The swimming pool offers a gorgeous view of the canal and downtown, including the iconic Burj Khalifa. The hotel is located near the canal promenade, providing easy access to leisurely strolls. The rooms are elegant and clean, with some offering partial views of the canal. The staff is very efficient, and special thanks to Philip, the concierge, for his helpful assistance. Taxis are readily available for transportation to Dubai Mall and nearby restaurants.

    Felt cozy, no complaints.

    We had a fantastic time at Ski Dubai, enjoying the real snow and thrilling activities like skiing, snowboarding, and tobogganing. It was a unique experience that offered endless entertainment for the whole family.

    My wife says that the hotel could improve by offering more kid-friendly activities for families with children.

    I selected this hotel for a work trip, as it boasts a wide range of leisure and business amenities including a mini Business Centre, Travel desk, a serene rooftop pool, well-equipped gym, and recreational facilities. The gym was well-maintained and offered a great view, while the rooftop pool provided a relaxing break from work. The staff at the business center were also extremely helpful in assisting with my work-related needs.

    The only service I missed for my work was a dedicated coworking space. It would have been beneficial to have a dedicated area within the hotel where I could comfortably work and hold meetings without interruptions.

    The rooftop terrace offers stunning views and Asian inspired deco, creating a truly mesmerizing ambiance. I felt like I was in a scene from a movie, with the breathtaking backdrop adding an extra touch of magic to my evening.

    Minor inconvenience with tourist guide desk.
